Always wanted a glock 19 in .45ACP

Also glocks are striker fired meaning there is no hammer spring. they are always cocked a certain percentage. Springs fatigue thru expansion and contraction leaving it compressed shouldn't theoretically be an issue in anything that uses them.

You if you don't dry fire you glock after working the slide it is indeed "cocked" it can remain in this position indefinitely.
